"Gets the water out"
This product does a great job getting the water off the lettuce however, it doesn't keep it any fresher than just leaving it in the bag. I will admit this is the only application I use it for so if you are using it to rinse other things it probably works fine but I am disappointed in the way lettuce turns bad rather quickly. I will say however that it removes the water very easily and clean up is also easy.

"I love my Zyliss spinner, but..."
I've had my Zyliss salad spinner for a few years, and now I'm replacing it. And it's for the dumbest reason, too! Most of the unit is lasting fine. I use it at least 4-5 times per week, and I fill it pretty much every time. However, I must not be gentle enough with it. The spinning action is transmitted to the basket by 6 little plastic tabs on the edges of the lid mechanism. One by one, those tabs have broken off, and now the mechanism no longer fully engages with the basket. I can still get it to spin up if I pull and pull and pull; the basket spins slowly, then faster, and then finally catches up with the lid mechanism and responds fully to my pulling. So it's still usable; just not very practical. I wish I could fix the little tabs instead of replacing the whole thing, but I guess at least I will have an extra basket and bowl if I ever want to do two batches of something without emptying the bowl.

Edit to add: I got my new spinner, and am pleased to note that the plastic tabs that I spoke of have been replaced with much sturdier ones -- instead of being one layer, they're now each a little square of plastic, which should be nearly impossible to break. I'm very happy with the new version, and would change my review to 5 stars if I could!

"Clumsy"
This item is attractive but requires muscle which makes it difficult to use....bad choice on my part! Looks good but I judged the book by it's cover in this instance.

"The Ultimate in Salad Luxury"
I have been wanting to purchase this salad spinner for years. I really like this product. It is a quality item and has been advertised in gardening magazines as well. I also liked the fact that it comes in different colors. The size of the spinner is also great as I can really load it up.
The price is comparable to other places except I was able to get free shipping which made it more of a value.

Great product.

"Great spinner"
This was bought to replace a worn-out one--it is great in performance and looks. The brake was new and useful--just don't forget to use it before opening the spinner!

What our customer's say!

"Great spinner", I didn't realize how lousy my prior salad spinner was 'til I got this one. Works like a charm! Be careful you don't wear out the pull cord tho -- mine is getting frayed already, and I'm not sure it's replaceable.

"Dry a whole bag of greens in a matter of seconds!", This spinner was purchased to replace my small OXO brand spinner - and I have to say this one is much better!! The OXO brand used a 'pump' type action to move the spinner, which was a pain. This model with the cord works so much better! It is very smooth and the handle is large enough to get a good grip on it when pulling. It gets excellent speed and really gets the greens nice and dry. It also quite large - I've done an entire bag of mixed greens in it at once with no problem.

"Salad essential", I am very dependent on my salad spinner. Since it is salad season I use mine everyday and love it. Cooks Illustrated recommends this spinner and I trust them for any kitchen gadget I ever need.

"At last. A salad spinner that really works!", I saw this salad spinner recommended in a magazine, and they were right. My husband who rarely buys anything said, "Why did you buy this?" But now he's a convert. He loves it. It's quick, easy, gets greens dry, with a hint of moisture, and is easy to clean and dry.

"Got it Now!", I purchased the pretty green Zyliss salad spinner at the end of last year. I've used it weekly since then. At first use, I couldn't figure out how to spin it and not have the top move. It is all in how you place the other hand, a bit difficult at first, but I've got it now! Really, really like the product. I wash the romaine in the bowl first, drain and then spin the whole bag at one time. Excellent results!

"Love it", I use it on all my salads. I especially like it because I can rinse a pre-cut bag of greens in the strainer, which freshens it, then spin it and it comes out fresh as if I had just chopped it myself. Spinach, pre-cut cole slaw, iceberg, romaine, I've noticed it works tasty with it all. I'll throw in cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, cucumber slices, mushrooms and what not with iceberg lettuce, prep it with this product, then change my mind and saran wrap it for another day; the salad was still fresh two days later. Amazing salad spinner. I don't give pencil whipped reviews and if this salad spinner was crap, I would tell you. To be honest, I wish I'd bought one 10 years ago.

"Zippy!", Great salad spinner and so easy to use. We eat a lot more salad since I've gotten this spinner. It makes dinner prep so much easier! LOVE IT!

"Everyone should have a Zyliss Salad Spinner !", I have been on a diet for about a month and I have been eating alot of salad, since I have had my salad spinner the salads stay fresh and crisp and my dressing is not watered down. The Zyliss is easy to use and clean. I really do not know why I waited so long to get a salad spinner because it has made salad easy to make, better tasting, a longer shelf life and it even looks more appetizing.

"This is a great little item..", It's quite attractive and it works very well. I don't think it holds a whole head of lettuce in one spin, however. I use it very often to quickly dry off herbs from my garden, and less often to dry a head of lettuce (in two batches). The spinning mechanism is very efficient -- the rope doesn't get caught and have to be rewound like on other salad spinners I've used. It gets 4 stars instead of 5 because I agree with another reviewer that the lid is difficult to clean.

"This is perfect", I'm really happy with this salad spinner. I chose it because it was a reasonable cost and my favourite colour. I love it for a million other reasons: It holds an entire head of lettuce (I've tried romaine and green leaf) with the perfect amount of necessary wiggle room. I use the parts separately while I do my initial lettuce rinse. I eat salads every day for lunch, and it is great to just grab my lettuce and go, instead of going through the tedious tasks of tearing, washing, drying every single day. Likewise, I love how economical and sanitary it is - no more paper or cloth towels! The spinner dries the lettuce extremely well. The "sudden stop" button is a must - that lettuce has some serious momentum! I call this my "salafuge." I have no complaints whatsoever. :)
